Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation takes the form $y=a*b^x$ where

a is the initial value ( a ≠ 0), and
b is the base ( b ≠ 1)

The equation given in the problem can be written as $y=-4.8*4^x$ , so it is <em>an exponential equation, </em> where a = -4.8 and b = 4.

Thus we can say that the initial value = -4.8 and the base is 4

The correct answer is D

A washer and a dryer cost $857 combined. The washer costs $93 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Dryer cost $475; Washer cost $382

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply set up a system of equations to find the value of each the washer (variable x) and the dryer (variable y).

We are given the washer and dryer cost $857 together.

x + y = 857

We are also given that the washer cost $93 less than the dryer.

x = y - 93

So to find the cost of the dryer, we simply need to find the value of y.

x + y = 857

x = y - 93

( y - 93 ) + y = 857

2y - 93 = 857

2y = 950

y = 475

So now we have the value of the dry to be $475. We can check this by simply plugging in the value and see if it makes sense.

x + y = 857

x + 475 = 857

x = 382

And check this value:

x = y - 93

382 ?= 475 - 93

382 == 382

Therefore, we have found the values of both the washer and the dryer.

Cheers.

If you invest $4000 at 9% interest compounded annually, in how many years will you have $20,000. Give your answer the nearest te

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

18.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest problem and the following variables have been given;

Principal = 4000; this is the amount o be invested

APR = 9%; this is the compound interest to be earned

Accumulated amount = 20,000

We are required to determine the duration in years. We apply the compound interest formula;

$A=P(1+r)^{n}$

$20000=4000(1+\frac{9}{100})^{n}\\20000=4000(1.09)^{n}\\5=(1.09)^{n}$

The next step is to introduce natural logarithms in order to determine n;

$ln5=nln(1.09)\\n=\frac{ln5}{ln(1.09)}\\n= 18.675$

The number of years required is thus 18.7 years
